The quietest and most silent dishwashers

Adults who suffer from phonophobia or have infants in the family are interested in purchasing the quietest dishwasher. It is necessary that it either cannot be heard at all, or its sound barely breaks through the furniture façade. Is this possible? It is quite possible, but you will have to pay a little more than you planned, since very quiet machines are found in the middle and high price categories, but not in the low ones. To make it easier for you to find and select such machines, we have made a review in which you will find the names of specific models and their brief descriptions. Enjoy reading.

Smeg STE8239L

An almost silent dishwasher that produces 31 dB of sound even during intensive use. For comparison, human whisper (at a distance of 1 m) is about 20 dB. While outside the kitchen, you will not know that the appliances are turned on and actively washing dishes. In terms of the noise level produced, this model can be compared with dishwasher Bosch SMV23AX00R, which produces a sound with a power of 52 dB. Smeg STE8239L fully built-in, 60 cm wide, basket capacity – 13 place settings.

Smeg STE8239L is fully protected against water leaks and has a sensor that determines the purity of the water.

Smeg STE8239L is not only quiet, but also economical. For 1 cycle of a regular wash, which lasts 3 hours 10 minutes, the machine spends 6.5 liters of water and 0.81 kW/h of electricity, this is a record claim. The machine stands out:

• ten washing programs;
• not fully loaded mode;
• automatic door opening system at the end of washing;
• impeccable dishwashing quality;
• "Beam" indicator.

The dishwasher has beautiful illumination of the washing chamber and convenient baskets for dishes. The average cost of the model is $2080.

AEG FSR 93800 P

Another fairly quiet model from another well-known manufacturer, AEG FSR 93800 P. It is fully built-in, holds 13 sets and produces operating noise that reaches 39 dB, considering that according to the standards the average noise emitted by modern dishwashers is 45-55 dB, this is good result. AEG FSR 93800 P can be turned on at night without fear that the machine will wake you up during operation. This is why it has a delay start function, which allows you to delay the start of the program for up to 24 hours.

For 1 washing cycle, the machine consumes about 11 liters of water and 0.83 kW of electricity, has 8 washing programs and 4 temperature settings. The model stands out with a number of special functions: night wash, favorite program, extra drying, Auto Open, extra hygiene. The model costs $1,766.

Smeg LVS533XIN

We would like to especially highlight this dishwasher because, unlike the equipment described above, it is freestanding. Behind the walls of the attractive body lies excellent sound insulation, similar to that used in the manufacture of German washing machines. Thanks to this sound insulation, the machine does not produce sounds louder than 39 dB. This is actually an excellent result; it’s hard to find a better one. Smeg LVS533XIN baskets can hold a maximum of 13 place settings.

During washing, the machine consumes no more than 6.5 liters of water. It seems that it washes dishes with hot water steam, but the quality of washing does not suffer at all from this.Let's say more, Smeg LVS533XIN is one of the record holders for the quality of work, and this fact has been recorded by many specialists and users. What can the model boast of besides the fact that it is low noise?

1. Automatic door unlocking system at the end of the program.
2. Innovative glass holder.
3. Special adjustable baskets.
4. Complete protection against leakage.
5. Unique anti-fingerprint coating on the body.

It is also worth noting that the machine has a partial load mode, but considering that it only uses 6.5 liters of water, it is not really needed. The machine costs $1,883.

Electrolux ESL 97845 RA

There are many fans of the Electrolux brand in Russia. So, they can rejoice at a new quiet dishwasher with excellent technical characteristics. This is a fully built-in, full-size model for 13 place settings with a very low noise level of 39 dB. With good washing quality, the machine consumes no more than 11 liters of water.

Smeg STA6539L3

Why is the dishwasher noisy and what is the secret of models such as Smeg STA6539L3? Why are they low noise? The secret lies in special details, their location and special sound insulation. But let’s not go into details, but let’s talk about the wonderful Smeg STA6539L3 machine. This is a floor-standing dishwasher, fully built-in with a cabinet width of 60 cm.It holds 13 place settings and has the most modern and reliable electronic controls.

The noise level does not exceed 39 dB, which makes the equipment one of the quietest in its class. The control module memory contains 10 washing programs. In 1 cycle, the machine consumes 9 liters of water, which makes it moderately economical. Of the special functions, it only has automatic opening at the end of the wash; the rest is a standard set. Smeg STA6539L3 perfectly washes even the dirtiest dishes, and costs $1,333.

Electrolux ESL 98825 RA

Another wonderful “assistant” from the glorious Electrolux family, which can boast a noise level of within 39 dB. This fully built-in model is not only very quiet, but also extremely spacious. Its baskets hold as many as 15 sets of dishes. And the machine can wash this huge mountain clean in 3 hours. One cycle consumes 11 liters of water and 0.86 kW/h of electricity.

Electrolux ESL 98825 RA is notable not only for its huge basket capacity. It is worth noting that during operation it projects a time indicator directly onto the floor, which allows the housewife to find out what stage the program is at without opening the door. In addition, the machine’s arsenal includes:

• automatic shutdown function;
• XtraDry;
• load sensor;
• FlexiSpray is a unique sprayer;
• Time Manager.

Users also highlight a convenient cutlery tray with a special design.

I don’t even want to mention such little things as the interior lighting of the washing chamber and adjustable baskets. And so it is clear that the model is very worthy, but you will also have to pay a decent price for it - $1,330.

Siemens SN658X01 ME

Among the Smegs and Electroluxes, the most worthy dishwasher Siemens SN658X01 ME was included in our review. This appliance has a body width of 60 cm, is fully built-in, and can accommodate 14 sets of dishes. Noise level – 39 dB. Although this model is not the most economical, it does an excellent job of washing dishes, has 8 washing programs and a bunch of additional features.

1. Vario Speed ​​Plus.
2. Intensive washing zone.

4. Load sensor.
5. Hygiene+

I would also like to note the stylish design of the dishwasher and its extraordinary reliability. The cost is $1,066.

NEFF S515M60X0R

Far from being the most expensive, but quite remarkable, the NEFF S515M60X0R dishwasher has already attracted the attention of many buyers. This is a fully built-in machine with significant capacity - 14 standard sets of dishes. The noise level is similar to the model described above and is 39 dB. If there is an in-line water heater, the machine consumes only 1.08 kW/h of electricity, consuming 9.5 liters of water per 1 washing cycle.

There are only 6 washing modes in the arsenal, but this should not mislead you, since the machine copes with its work with a plus of five. It has a partial loading mode for baskets, an Intensive Zone, a load sensor and an attachment for washing trays. In addition, the model is equipped with a quiet Eco Silence Drive motor and excellent noise insulation, which accounts for the notorious 39 dB. The model costs $1,150.

Smeg STL7235L

There are quite a few representatives of the Smeg brand in our review, but nothing can be done about it. It is Smeg that produces a record number of quiet dishwashers and this is great.Smeg STL7235L is a low noise (39 dB) full-size model with a capacity of 13 place settings. Modern electronic control is complemented by high efficiency. During one washing cycle, the machine spends no more than 9 liters of water, while a partial load mode is still available, which allows you to save another 4.5 liters per cycle.

With a normal program, the machine spends a little less than 3 hours on a full washing cycle, while the control module’s memory contains as many as 10 washing programs. Each program has its own characteristics and is valuable in its own way. The machine does not have any special functions, but this does not prevent it from coping with its task 120%. Price – 1400 dollars.

At the end of the wash, a loud sound signal is heard, which can be turned off if necessary.

Electrolux ESL 8820RA

If you are interested in quiet, heavy-duty machines, check out the Electrolux ESL 8820 RA. It operates extremely quietly at 39 dB and can hold 15 place settings. Some users claim that it can hold 17 sets, but we have not tested this claim. High quality washing is provided by 7 modes, from which you can select your favorite program and save it in the machine’s memory. Every time you turn on the equipment, Electrolux ESL 8820 RA will select your favorite program.

The machine has excellent electronic control, and it can be called quite economical, since it spends only 11 liters of water on such a huge mountain of dishes. Imagine how much water would have to be poured out to wash a mountain of dirty dishes by hand. In addition to standard functions, the machine boasts: an automatic decontamination mode, Xtra Dry and a system for automatically opening the door at the end of the program. You can buy Electrolux ESL 8820 RA for $1017.

Concluding our review, we note that quiet dishwashers are invariably expensive. It’s hard to find a record-breaking quiet machine under $1,000, and that’s understandable. The quiet machine has a quiet and expensive direct drive motor, as well as expensive sound insulation. Add in the surcharge for the brand, and you get a market price that, for some reason, is not pleasing to the eye.
